Silicone watch strap keeper, light green, for 12 mm straps
If the free end of your 12 mm strap keeps flapping about, this light green silicone loop puts it back where it…
passant-12-05Give a 16 mm silicone or rubber strap a fresh keeper with this loop in dark green. It suits classic watches and smartwatches alike, provided the strap has the right width. Dark green is deep and understated, ideal on forest, olive or black straps. Measure the strap across, near the lugs or at the old keeper, and pick the same figure, here 16 mm.
Dark green has become a favourite for dials and straps, and for good reason: it reads as sober from afar and rich up close. A dark green loop completes a forest or bottle green rubber strap, sits quietly on black, and looks handsome against a tan or brown band. It suits outdoor watches as well as smart everyday pieces with green dials.
The fit is for 16 mm straps. Measure your band across, at the buckle end, using a ruler in millimetres. Sixteen millimetres is frequent on compact watches and on many models for slimmer wrists.
Silicone repels water, so rain, sweat or a swim leave it unchanged. It is pleasant on the skin and does not stiffen with ordinary use. Soapy water is enough to clean it. To fit it, stretch the loop slightly, slip it over the strap end and slide it towards the buckle; no tool is involved.
A keeper that has torn or gone floppy lets the strap tail stick out. Replacing it with this dark green ring is a quick fix that also tidies the overall look.
Will dark green match a green dial watch? On a dark green or black 16 mm strap it picks up the dial colour nicely.
Is it the same as khaki? No. Khaki has an olive-brown tint; dark green is a cooler, deeper green.
